Information search by applying VDL-based iconic tags: an experimental study

Abstract: Purpose Visual Distinctive Language (VDL)-based iconic tags are structured visual information annotation. They explicate the content and organization of tagged information by graphical and symbolic features in order to improve the vocabulary problems of textual tags. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how these special icons help in tagged-based user information searching. Design/methodology/approach A two-stage experiment was designed and conducted so as to follow and quantify the searching process… Show more

“…The different regions were distinguished using different graphical elements or their combinations on a map. The VDL-based iconic TCs followed this classification idea (Ma et al, 2019). The combination of several graphical elements was applied to distinguish the tags belonging to different information groups.…”

“…However, before these diverse icons were put onto the TCs, graphical operations had to be processed to transform them into a unified size. Finally, nine pre-icons corresponding to nine tag categories were designed to create the VDL-based iconic tags for VDL-based iconic TCs group (Ma et al, 2019). They were made out by attaching the iconic symbols of iconic TCs group onto the corresponding pre-icons.…”
